I agree that the Palestinians should be handled for this. I mean, no one, I mean NO ONE, dances and celebrates at the tragedies of another like that, even if the two parties are not on friendly terms, and even if the two parties are enemies, most of the time. It is childish (should I say, retarded ...

Here's another cheese tactic that works about one hundred percent of the time, although it is extremely time consuming.

Basically, after Kangaxx appears in demi-lich form, have your party run out the door. This probably means that you should keep as many people as possible by the door ready to run ...

here's a thought: what does everyone think about dropping Keldorn and just getting Anomen instead?

I still haven't decided whether or not to get Anomen. My main gripe is his dexterity of 10 (The Gauntlets of Dexterity will go to Keldorn). That, and the fact that he will suck up some experience.

As for the mind flayers, I actually killed them by pulling them to a door way and pelting them to ...

New Game Started, Need Advice

My new group, more neutral than my first (which was good) is probably going to consist of these characters;

- Quellin, Archer, who's elvish so he can still do alright with dualing long swords.
- Jaheira, Fighter/Druid, my cleric(ish) character, who will eventually be alright with a scimitar and ...

[ToB spoilers] Third Ending for Aerie?

I was just considering how my new group (beat ToB yesterday, yay!) should be constructed, and then I realized something:

If Aerie chose Haer'Dalis as her final lover, would her ending still be the "goes on a rampage of revenge"?

At any rate, since my frist group was good-aligned, I want my second ...

Again, Sarevok as Chaotic Good?

I'm just asking again: does anyone know if Sarevok's alignment can shift from chaotic evil, and if so, what is required for that to happen?

Questiong Regarding Sarevok (Possible Spoiler?)

I just beat SoA doing almost as many quests as I possibly could, and now I have started ToB. Of course, I put Sarevok into my party, making my party consist of:

MAIN: Folken: Fighter, dual-wielding long swords

Sarevok: Fighter, using Soul Reaver but looking for a better two-hander

I don't know, fellas, I imagine a mage standing a pretty good chance against any melee. Dispel, I admit, is an awesome ability (I love Keldorn for it), but it affects buffs and debuffs. A mage, even without his spells sequenced, triggered, or what have you, can still dish out massive amounts of ...

Thanks for the assurances, then, people. No, I haven't installed Kevin's patches to the best of my knowledge (I don't know what those are). I guess it's off to the circus tent for me, then.

Something new in Aerie's Romance Angle?

I installed Throne of Bhaal, but had decided to first finish Shadows of Amn to its fullest. In chapter six, I went to the circus tent in Waukeen's Promenade to see Quayle (the gnome messenger showed up three chapters ago, but I was bent on getting Imoen first and then doing side quests to raise her ...

Where Can I Buy Scroll Cases?

Okay, I have played my group up to the point I go into the Harper Hideout, and already Nalia is proving to be a very pathetic thief. She cannot even detect the traps in Prebek's house, and can barely pick the lock to the drawer. I have to say, after using Nalia for a little time, she is not a good ...

Group Creation Advice Needed

I reformatted my computer a while back and lost my saved games, which really is not happy.

I started a new group planning to get the following:

- Folken (Skald)
- Minsc
- Aerie
- Nalia
- Keldorn
- Valygar

But now, I'm beginning to consider being a cavalier and getting Anomen instead of Keldorn ...

Having played the game through once before, yes, I do know where to look for them. It says so again in the readme file attached to the download, when I went through hoping to find some answers.

Bonus Merchant Path Not Working...

I just installed BG2 on my new notebook and got the official patch plus the bonus patch. For some reason, after unzipping the merchant patch like I'm supposed to, the merchants don't show in game! Anyone know something about this?

Hm, yes, true; Aerie is quite annoying when she reminisces repeatedly about her wings, but if you choose to do the romance arc with her, she stops soon enough.

I then found Aerie very likeable. She romanticizes about the future, is a dreamer (if only because she's naive, but that's actually kind of ...
